Editorial Reviews
"...A remarkable true-life adventure that taps dark emotions....ALIVE draws considerable power from staying more human than heroic..."
Rolling Stone - p.75 - Peter Travers (02/04/1993)

"...Well-crafted....One has to admire the [performances] Marshall elicits from his largely unknown cast..."
Variety - Brian Lowry (01/11/1993)

"...The location photography is impressive, the scenery is awesome, the re-enactment of the air crash is terrifying and uses convincing special effects..."

    Great action packed movie with terrific special effects. The bonus material
    is fabulous as this DVD is the 30th anniversary edition of the crash and the
    real life passengers aboard the plane are on the bonus materials taking you back 30 yrs. to where it all began. A highly recommended movie. \

    Thank you.
